Imfihlakalo nomfanekiso wokhozi
1UMoya kaJehova wafika kimi, wathi:
2Ndodana yomuntu, yenza imfumbe, ukhulume umfanekiso kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli;
3Uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Ukhozi olukhulu olunamaphiko amakhulu, namaphiko amade, lugcwele izimpaphe, ezinemibala ehlukahlukene, lwafika eLebanoni, lwathatha igatsha eliphezulu lomsedari.
4Yanquma isihloko samahlumela awo, yasiyisa ezweni lohwebo; wayibeka emzini wabathengisi.
5Lase lithatha enye imbewu yelizwe, layitshalela elizweni elivundileyo; yawubeka ngasemanzini amakhulu, yawumisa njengesihlahla somnyezane.
6Yamila, yaba ngumvini onabileyo, obukekayo, owaphendukayo, nezimpande zawo zaba phansi kwawo; yaba ngumvini, yathela, yaveza amagatsha.
7Kwakukhona nolunye ukhozi olukhulu olunamaphiko amakhulu nezimpaphe eziningi; bheka, lo mvini wavuthulula izimpande zawo, wasusa izimpande zawo, ukuze unisele imisele yensimu yawo.
8Wawutshalwe emhlabathini omuhle ngasemanzini amaningi, ukuze uthele, uthele isithelo, ube ngumvini omuhle.
9Wena uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Ingabe izochuma? Kayiyikusiphula yini izimpande zawo, iqume isithelo sawo, ukuze ubune? Uyobuna kuwo wonke amaqabunga omthombo wawo, ngisho ngaphandle kwamandla amakhulu noma abantu abaningi ukuwusiphula ngezimpande zawo.
10Yebo, bheka, uma itshalwa, iyakuphumelela na? Ngeke wome yini, uma umoya wasempumalanga uwuthinta na? Liyobuna emiseleni lapho likhule khona.
11Ngaphezu kwalokho, umoya kaJehova wafika kimi wathi:
12Manje yisho kuyo indlu ehlubukayo: Anazi yini ukuthi lezi zinto zisho ukuthini na? Yisho kubo ukuthi: ‘Bhekani, inkosi yaseBabele yafika eJerusalema, yathatha inkosi yayo nezikhulu zayo, yaya nabo eBabele;
13Wathatha enye yenzalo yenkosi, wenza isivumelwano nayo, wamfungisa; wathatha nabanamandla bezwe.
14Ukuze umbuso ube mncane, ungawuphakamisi, kodwa ngokuwugcina.
15Kodwa wamhlubuka ngokuthuma izithunywa zakhe eGibithe, ukuze amnike amahhashi namadoda amaningi. Ingabe uzophumelela? Uyophunyuka yini owenza izinto ezinjalo? Noma ingabe uzoliphula futhi asindiswe?
16Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, impela endaweni yokuhlala inkosi eyambeka inkosi, esifungo sayo yasidelela, nesiphetho sayo wasaphula, yebo, uyakufa kanye nayo phakathi kweBabiloni.
17UFaro nesixuku sakhe esinamandla nangesixuku esikhulu akayikumlwela ngokumisa izintaba nokwakha izinqaba zokuqothula abantu abaningi.
18Ngoba udelele isifungo ngokwephula, futhi bheka, wanikela isandla sakhe futhi wenza zonke lezi zinto, ngeke aphunyuke.
19Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Kuphila kwami, impela isifungo sami asideleleyo, nesifungo sami asephulayo, ngiyakukubeka phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
20Futhi ngiyozendlala phezu kwakhe, futhi uyobanjwa enetheni lami, futhi ngiyomyisa eBabele futhi ngingene lapho ekulweni naye ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe asenzele sona kimi.
21Nentando yakhe yonke bayokuwa ezweni, futhi abaseleyo bayohlakazwa kuyo yonke imimoya; niyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.
22Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngiyakuthatha futhi phezulu komsedari, ngiwubeke; Ngiyakunquma ethambile esiqongweni samagatsha aso, ngilitshale entabeni ende, enhle kakhulu;
23Entabeni ephakemeyo yakwa-Israyeli ngiyolitshala, lithele, lithele, libe ngumsedari omuhle; futhi ngaphansi kwawo kuyakuhlala zonke izinyoni zamaphiko onke; emthunzini wakhe bayohlala.
24Yonke imithi yasendle iyakwazi ukuthi mina, Jehova, ngehlise umuthi omude, ngaphakamisa umuthi omncane, ngomisa umuthi oluhlaza, ngenza umuthi owomileyo uqhakaze; mina Jehova ngikhulumile, ngikwenzile.
